Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy - AEDP

About Me

AEDP Psychotherapy 60 minute Appointment

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is a powerful model of psychotherapy that incorporates psychodynamic theory and practice, attachment theory, developmental theory and, contemporary neuroscience, alongside a relational approach (using the therapeutic relationship as part of the therapy) to work towards health and healing. As part of the treatment appointments are recorded on a camcorder or through Zoom depending on whether appointments are face-to-face or virtually. This is so that I can review appointments and fine tune interventions that harness the transformational potential of core emotion, states of openness towards new experience that can radically change the internal narrative of self and ensure that safety and connection is continually fostered in the service of building resilience and togetherness in therapy. AEDP is an approach that is highly effective for the treatment of diagnosed disorders of personality and, anxiety, depression, childhood adversity, PTSD, relationship difficulties and other emotion oriented issues that inhibit self-functioning and feeling resourced in life and love.

Integrative Counselling/Psychotherapy 50 minute appointment

Integrative psychotherapeutic counselling is beneficial for short or longer term therapy, to work with an array of difficulties that life throws up and that can mean life feels less full of colour and possibility. I have many years experience working therapeutically with adults, children and families. My integrative approach incorporates theory and practice from different modalities alongside the experiences I have of working using the arts and practicing as an AEDP therapist. Integrative psychotherapeutic counselling can be beneficial for clients who are new to counselling or psychotherapy, who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, challenges feeling fulfilled in life, loneliness, emotional intensity or dullness, wanting to explore meaning and purpose in life, or, where there are specific challenges that are overwhelming and need to be made sense of and worked through.

I aim to enable access to therapy for all and where cost is an issue please contact me and explain your circumstances as I provide a limited number of appointment slots for low cost counselling. Unfortunately my consulting room is not wheelchair friendly, I can see clients on Zoom instead.

I provide a free initial consultation which is a 60 minute appointment where you can meet me, let me know about what is bringing you to therapy and together we can determine if I am the right therapist for you and then make a plan together either to work together or, where required, to refer you to a different therapist
